Do you make your own coffee or buy it out.

I can't stand to buy coffee at the traditional drive thrus. It is so expensive that I just can't justify it. I do get it occaisionally but mostly I make it at home to save money.

I could not make coffe but when be forced then will be done by me, but i always bought coffe in the stall in front of my house because of the price of a glass coffe here only Rp.1500. and when in the calculation inside dollar his price only several penny, so i was happier to drink coffe in the stall.

I can't stand the taste of store bought coffees. They always make it so strong and it tastes very bitter to me. I also can't handle flavored coffees. I like mine plain, a little on the weak side with half and half and 3 equals (I use a BIG coffee cup!).

I have a friend that when I went to coffee for the 1st time with her, I almost choked at the table. We ordered coffee..it comes black and you add your own cream, sugar, sugar substite however you like it. She put 12 yes, twelve, sugar packets in a regular size coffee cup. OMG, I almost spit my coffee across the table.. but to each his own I guess..lol

I buy good quality beans, Milstone, and I grind them myself, and then make the coffee. It is so yummmmmmy. But, sometimes if I am out, I will buy a cappicino, as that is good, and I don't know how to make that.

The cost of buying coffee rather than making it is expensive. When we dine out and they ask us if we want coffee at the end of the meal, I pass on it. Why pay $1.50+ for a cup of coffee when you can have it at home? My husband says he will have more than one cup, but that doesn't make it econonmical.

I feel the same way, but occaisionally I will get a cup after dinner. It depends on if I really want it at the time and if I am going home or out after eating.

I like either buying and my own. During the day if I am just taking the kid to school I drink regular coffee. Otherwise If I am shopping I will stop to buy coffee and yes it is expensive but I still like my coffee.

You know, I make coffee at home every now and then, but I think that I am more into the shi-shi, hip, brand name coffee drinker! I know most die hard coffee heads will think I'm only moonlighting as a coffee drinker, and that I am nor "real", but I like the fancy stuff, but not enough to buy it regularly at the grocery store or invest in a mchine that I know I will stop using in a month! So, when I'm out and I am in a good mood, I treat myself to such little pleasures... I.C. Jackson

When I lived in Wa. I had my own espresso machine and would make latte's. I used to buy coffee, espresso, and lattes out when I lived there because it is very populaar. So I bought my own machine. Now that I have moved to Ma again I haven't used my machine...Heck I don't even know where it is..lol. Anyway it's not so popular here so I don't give it much thought anymore and just drink coffee...... Thanks for bringing it up..gives me something to hunt for. Now where did I see...........

I usually buy coffee, coz I have no time to make it by myself. But I feel coffee made by myself is better than sold by stores. :)

I love Mcdonalds coffee...however.. just yesterday my mother and I decided we would stop and get one while on our way to a store that was 20 miles away. We asked for coffee, light, no sugar. We get it and a mile away I take a sip and there is sugar in it. We turn around and go back. We got new coffee. As we get to about the same mile away... we both take a sip, look at each other and say.. "Gross" !! It had way to much cream in it. Well we ended up going to lunch and we never drank our coffee...hehehe
